Abstract

1,246,999. Inflatable escape shoots; inflatable craft; buoys. SWITLIK PARACHUTE CO. Inc. 9 Dec., 1968 [1 Feb., 1968], No. 58455/68. Headings B7A, B7J and B7V. An evacuation slide structure 10 of flexible air and watertight fabric, e.g. impregnated with rubber, and adapted to depend from an aircraft, comprises three inflatable longitudinal tubular support members 28, 28, 34, head and foot inflatable tubular end support members 30, 32 respectively, inflatable thwarts 36, 36, and a sheet 38 secured to the end and longitudinal members and overlying the thwarts to form two slideways 18, 18, and is characterized in that each longitudinal support member has an impervious non-extensible lateral restrainer 60 secured therein, Fig. 5, to divide it into two air and watertight compartments and to give it a non-circular cross-section having a major axis 64-64 and a mirror axis 66-66. The sheet 38 is passed partly round the foot member 32 to secure it taut, and chafing strips 54 of abrasion-resistant material are provided where the foot member may rub on the ground, and at the head end of the slide 10 is a fastening sheet 20 having a holding bar 22 for securing the slide to the aircraft escape opening. Conductive strips 56 are provided to dissipate static electrical charges. The slide may subsequently function as a life raft. In a second embodiment, one slideway only is provided.
